Re: 25 or 50 Things About Yourself: Discussion Thread

hi Agrias, thanks for sharing!

01. I´m a girl, I know the nickname doesn´t help

Don't worry...everyone here thinks I'm a guy too for some reason...

02. Brazillian, born at Rio de Janeiro, currently living in Fortaleza Hellfire city. We don´t have seasons like spring or summer, we just have the "hot" season and the "hotter".

Brazil, that's cool! Some of my friends are from there, all I can remember how to say is "obrigado" and "borboleta" though

03. Born at March 10th, 1984 - 23yrs old.

hmm...if I had been born 8 days later, we'd be exactly six months apart

04. I have a bad fame about starting grad. courses and not finishing them. I studied Physics, Arts and Industrial Design...

05. ...But next year i´ll be graduating in Archtecture and Urbanism, I hope.

Those all sound like really interesting subjects

11. Fav. bands - Opeth and Blind Guardian.

hm, you sound like my brother

12. Fav. anime - Macross (the first.), Ghost in the Shell, Naruto...and yeah, Sailormoon, forever. ;p

Ghost in the Shell the movie or show? I haven't seen the show but I love the movie.

17. I´m running out of ideas of what to say here. ;p Hm..my favourite movies are Kill Bill, the LOTR series, Star Wars 4/5/6, Babel and Munich.

Those are all great movies, excellent taste you have

18. I dunno about why this came on my mind, but Brazil is not only about carnival and soccer! I hate both.

You hate soccer?!! Nah just kidding, it's all good

21. I´m veeery lazy, but i think i´m a good person. ;p Loyal and friendly...i guess. I´m very shy, forgot to mention that. Veeery important.

I'm shy too. But no worries, it's really hard to be shy for too long around here. So make sure you stick around, it's fun

Don't worry, you're not the only "victim" of mistaken identity here.

04. I have a bad fame about starting grad. courses and not finishing them. I studied Physics, Arts and Industrial Design...

05. ...But next year i´ll be graduating in Archtecture and Urbanism, I hope.

Good luck. I hope we'll be hearing about it or you posting your graduation pics.

06. I have a trouble keeping on the same activity for a long time too. I´ve already practiced ballet dancing, taekwondo, swimming, gym, biking, flamenco dancing and tap dancing - and gave up all of them. Right now I´m thinking of kung fu or aikido...

Wow, you're a very active person.

12. Fav. anime - Macross (the first.), Ghost in the Shell, Naruto...and yeah, Sailormoon, forever. ;p

Which one is your favorite Sailor? I'm a big fan of Sailor Mars.

17. I´m running out of ideas of what to say here. ;p Hm..my favourite movies are Kill Bill, the LOTR series, Star Wars 4/5/6, Babel and Munich.

May the force be with you.

18. I dunno about why this came on my mind, but Brazil is not only about carnival and soccer! I hate both.

Why do you hate football? It's the greatest game in the world.

7. I am the second of three siblings

15. I was put on academic probation my freshman year of college (burned out)

17. I have been kicked by two horses and a cow in one day

why, what did you do to them?!!

25. I once fell from two and a half stories up and didn't break a single bone (I couldn't walk the next day, though).

Re: 25 or 50 Things About Yourself: Discussion Thread

why, what did you do to them?!!

I worked over the summer as a farm hand, and we were moving the cows from a place where there was a lot of grass. My job was to get the stragglers that the cowboys and dogs didn't get. At the start there was this mean bull that almost kicked one of the dogs, and then succeeded in getting me just under the ribs. After I could breathe again and we got them all where they needed to be, the bull started making a huge ruckus, and a steer (that's a boy cow whose you-know-whats were removed) freaked out to the right of me and I couldn't ger away before it kicked me just above my rear end.

Then I tried to saddle a new horse that wasn't as broke as we thought. I caught two hooves to the chest, and I was unable to go to work the next day because I was had shortness of breathe. I had X-Rays done, and they said that my diaphram had been bruised (along with the rest of me) and that I had microfractures in my ribs and pelvis.

I treated my time off of work as a vacation.

Re: 25 or 50 Things About Yourself...

ok. here we go.
5. I play 3 instruments, though i CAN play 4. (viola, violin, piano, cello)
6. I learned how to play 3 out of those 4 from the first one i learned (viola)

What's the different between a viola and a violin?

My turn, I'll try to find things to say...

- I'm anosmic (means I don't have the sense of smell)

- I can tell about 50 decimals of PI (there's a cheat, ask if you wanna know)

- I love qwerty keyboards much more than azerty (though in france it's usually azerty)


\o/

- That's the first time i heard of someone who doesnt have a sense of smell. What does that feels like?

- There is? Would you mind telling us how?

- i tried using azerty keyboard, i gave up after 1 hour.

Re: 25 or 50 Things About Yourself...

Ichi, I think the viola is bigger than the violin.. I haven't seen a viola up-close though. Am I right, shinigami_girl?

@kluzman: So what's the cheat? Tell us!!

 

[kluzman]

Re: 25 or 50 Things About Yourself: Discussion Thread

Haha I'll tell ya but keep it a secret

Ok no big deal really : There's a song by Kate Bush that's called Pi. There she sings about 150 decimals of the number. The thing is, with the tune, it's much easier to remember them! You should try and listen to it, the song is quite good!! And it's funny to hear a song where there's almost only numbers
3.141592653589793238462643383279 and so forth ^^ (I swear i wrote that humming the song )
See? Nothing spectacular really.

@Ichimaru : Yeah beeing anosmic is quite uncommon (never met another) but I was lucky to be born like this. I don't miss smells. I mean loosing the sense would be much more troublesome I guess.

Re: 25 or 50 Things About Yourself: Discussion Thread

5. I pwn at Star Wars Trivial Pursuit

Awesome! A Star Wars fan is alway welcomed here.

6. ...but suck at the real version of the game.

You're saying that to hustle one of us into playing it with you, aren't you?

7. I have seen Back to the Future (part 1) more times than any other person on the planet.

If they ever gonna make Back to the Future IV, there's gonna be a cameo of your pic as the person who watch part 1 the most.

9. ...plus a bunch of classic rock albums (The Beatles, Hendrix, The Who, Pink Floyd)

Awesome!

12. I'm a Browncoat.

do you wear that cunning hat too?

13. ...although in real life, I'm nothing like my namesake.

You don't expect us to believe that too, do you. After all, you're an electrical engineer.

15. I read (and loved) Lord of the Rings way before there was any talk of a movie.

Another awesome thing about you! Which is your favorite Lord of the Rings character?

16. My favorite flavor (of anything) is vanilla.

Even if there's a vanilla tasting frog?

17. I love the Final Fantasy games.

I'm a big fan of Final Fantasy VII myself. That is awesome, kaylee!

19. The only current TV show I'm watching is House.

That show rocks!

20. I have a b.s. in electrical engineering
21. ...but I've already forgotten everything I learned in college.
22. I have the worst memory in the world (except when it comes to Naruto).

Maybe one day there will be a degree for anime/manga, can you imagine how many people would graduate from MH alone?

25. I make the best oatmeal raisin cookies in the world.

Would you mind sharing with us in the Recipes Thread?

Re: 25 or 50 Things About Yourself: Discussion Thread

Re: 25 or 50 Things About Yourself: Discussion Thread

me too, two or three years ago

5. I pwn at Star Wars Trivial Pursuit

Star Wars rocks Never played the Trivial Pursuit though

8. I own a turntable and over a hundred records of classical music.
9. ...plus a bunch of classic rock albums (The Beatles, Hendrix, The Who, Pink Floyd)
10. ...and jazz (Miles Davis, Charlie Parker, Coltrane)

well, I already know you have awesome taste in music, so I guess I'm just quoting you for truth here

oh, but you like Hendrix too...we didn't talk about him, I LOVE him

who's your favorite classical composer?

12. I'm a Browncoat.
13. ...although in real life, I'm nothing like my namesake.

Re: 25 or 50 Things About Yourself: Discussion Thread

You're saying that to hustle one of us into playing it with you, aren't you?

Hehe. Well, I only win that game whenever I tell myself over and over again that I'm terrible at it.

You don't expect us to believe that too, do you. After all, you're an electrical engineer.

True enough, but I'm also the most un-handy person alive. I couldn't fix an engine to save my life. I'm also a huge cynic.

Another awesome thing about you! Which is your favorite Lord of the Rings character?

Hmm. I think it's always been Aragorn. I love the history of the Dúnedain, and, well, I was a lovesick preteen girl when I first read the story. But my favorite race by far are the elves.

Even if there's a vanilla tasting frog?

Mmmm, crunchy.

Maybe one day there will be a degree for anime/manga, can you imagine how many people would graduate from MH alone?

I wish! That is probably the only thing that would compel me to go back to school.

Would you mind sharing with us in the Recipes Thread?

We have a recipe's thread? Awesome!
*goes to dig up the recipe*

... so you're a star wars fan, a ringer, a brown coat, and a final fantasy fan? are you my long lost 6 years older twin sister?

Hehe. Could be. I used to live in upstate ny too...

Star Wars rocks Never played the Trivial Pursuit though

It's a lot of fun. Especially if you play it with a lot of other star wars freaks.

well, I already know you have awesome taste in music, so I guess I'm just quoting you for truth here

oh, but you like Hendrix too...we didn't talk about him, I LOVE him

Ah yes, Hendrix is awesome. But I only listed my records.... I also have a ton of cds and mp3s spanning across pretty much every genre.

who's your favorite classical composer?

Hmm. Tough question, but I think I have to go with Bach. He wrote a few pieces for flute (I used to play) that I just love. His organ pieces are amazing too.

Is that where your name is from?! I love Firefly!!!

Me too!!! They killed that show waaaay too early.

hockey? hockey's fun

(go Bruins!)

Yeah, hockey's by far my favorite sport to watch. (and I'll just ignore your last comment... )

oooohh....another good cook for me to beg for food

I'm not that great a cook... I just make good cookies.
and I'll try to post that recipe somewhere, so you can try them for yourself!

Re: 25 or 50 Things About Yourself: Discussion Thread

What's interesting? Elaborate that please.... ^^

It's interesting because so many people tried to come up with the logic of it, but in the end they just take it for what it is.

LOL... a few weeks a go someone even thought that I'm still in Junior High School wtf was that? O_o

You should be grateful, most people would kill to be looking so young.

LOL again... check it out and you'll find my post there ^^
